The Wauwatosa School District is a high-performing district in Wisconsin, with 17 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district is home to several standout schools, including East High School, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state, and Wauwatosa STEM, an exceptional elementary charter school that is one of the top-performing schools in Wisconsin.

In addition to these high-achieving schools, the district also has several other strong performers, such as Roosevelt Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, which rank among the top elementary schools in the state.
